PTR-Cheating on Mickey w/Harry!...OMG! Only a month to go!

[franandaj]

Hang in there, you're doing great! See you even made it to the wine after nine.

Thanks! Do you guys leave tomorrow? How cool is that? We would be switching to VWL in two days and I think it was the day after we checked in that we were going to meet at the Poly before we both changed our plans. I wass going to meet up with another Sac native at VWL, but we know what happened to that!

Yes, we leave in the morning. I just printed our boarding passes! I need to make a Costco, Petsmart and store run, do laundry and pack today.

I've been fighting a sinus and ear infection since our Grand Canyon trip three weeks ago so I'm sure I'll have an awesome sinus headache tomorrow during our flights.

You two take care while I'm away!

Alison, you are quite the nurse. Speaking from experience, cellulitis is awful. I had a relatively mild case after walking my feet raw in new shoes and I felt like sh$%, to put it delicately. I can only imagine how Fran is feeling. Hopefully, the IV antibiotics are taking effect quickly. And now you have a new talent for your resume.

We would love to meet up with you for dinner in the parks! Fingers crossed that Fran is much improved by then. There is one catch; our friend Katie is traveling with us. She is a Disneyland first-timer and the reason for our trip. Is it ok if she joins us?

Where is your band concert on Sunday in DCA?

Thanks! Sorry you had to have this, it seems pretty icky and painful. I'll send you a PM.

So I'm trying to figure out the things that require reservations first. Since we're staying at SSR, I'm going to do the spa. They have this awesome tub treatement where they take a "reverse vacuum cleaner" tube and the technicians runs it all over your body blowing warm water out of it while you are submersed in warm water. I have a special bathing suit in my OL since they won't let you do the treatment naked an require you wear a suit.

I also want to get a massage. Do you think I should do the the first day that we have a room and let Fran rest that morning while I go to the spa? I want to get up somewhat leisurely that day and make us something good like French toast and bacon or 1-2-3 breakast (1 toast, 2 eggs and 3 slices of bacon) and then get on with things. I'm thinking if I make us the breakfast in bed, she can keep sleeping or get up and do online stuff while I go to the spa. We have the Yachtsman that night and that would be one of the potential nights to see the Osborne lights. We could go in the afternoon to DHS maybe hit Star Tours, RnRC with me in the single rider line, ToT see the lights when they come on at 6PM and then at about 6:45 head over to the Yacht Club for dinner.

There are two other nights we could also go to DHS for the lights, but I'm more thinking about when to do the massage. If I didn't do it Monday, the next possible day would be Wednesday. I'm thinking it would be good to get all relaxed at the start of the Vacay, and then go from there. Any opinions?

Given the time that you're having now, my vote goes towards massage at the start of the trip. It'll put you nicely into the relaxing mode. And if you don't feel relaxed enough, you can then book ANOTHER one in on Wednesday.

 

[DisneyFirefly]

I agree with PIO... I think the massage would be best at the beginning of the trip

This is my vote... First on Monday and then another on wednesday if you want/need one.

Ha! You guys are funny! At Disney prices I'm only going to have one spa day! It will probably run almost the amount of the gift card I'm getting back from the F&W events, well not quite, but will definitely use the up one that I got refunded from Cat Cora and then some! And I'm getting a massage this week too! In the next three days, the nap this morning helped, but my muscles are killing me!

Well I will reevaluate my answer when you tell us how you feel after this weeks massage.

Doh!​

I am an idiot! I was on one of my other threads and another DISer was talking about Fran and our December trip, she asked if I was going to MVMCP or Candlelight Processional....

CANDLELIGHT PROCESSIONAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It was at that moment I realized that we had booked a Candlelight package at DLR, I had no idea what the dates were since I didn't put them in my phone.

Turns out we were scheduled to go the night our plane was taking off. Luckly I was able to rebook the plane for the following night. Then I called MS and spoke to them about the reservation, we decided to keep the same arrival date so that our room would be ready for us when we arrive. This makes me feel a little bit better. I could still get Fran situated in the room and then go get a massage. We can pick up something to eat at the airport so that we can rest until evening when we have our first dinner reservation.


See what happens when you do things too quickly!

 

[PrincessInOz]

So....who's the orator at the CP?

While the entire line up for Epcot has been announced, but they can't tell us who is there for two days at DL?

Really? WOW! Wonder why that is?

 

[franandaj]

Really? WOW! Wonder why that is?

We signed up back in June and all we could sign up for was Sat lunch/dinner or Sun lunch/dinner. They didn't even know the dates. I had to google it because the lady handling it was out today. I'll call back tomorrow and verify that we did in fact reserve Sat dinner.

Lesson learned write it in your calendar. I once booked two events for the same day so now I have to write everything down.

So Fran had a breakdown tonight.....she asked why I was so hellbent on rebooking the trip so soon. My main reason was that we would have to pay $175 to get our airline miles put back in our account. She seemed to go ballistic about having to pay money. The only way we won't have to pay is if we fly the same itinerary by January 10, 2012. Otherwise we either pay before then or lose it.

My initial thought was to just pay it and move on, but she wouldn't do that. Her morphine haze has caused her not to understand things at all, she is just wondering why I am trying to rebook the vacation so soon. I guess the only thing is to cancel the DVC part since after tomorrow the points will definitely go into holding. Then I need to hope that she gets off the morphine before Dec 4 and I can convince her that we need to just pay the $175 to put the points back in our account rather than try and go round and back to Orlando by 1/10/12. She isn't thinking clearly so she isnt' understanding the whole ramifications and doesn't understand that we can't get into the resorts during Xmas, nor did we want to go then.

(((((Sigh)))))

I'm going to be canceling the SSR trip tomorrow morning so the points don't go into holding.

I'll be waiting on the airfare until she is off the morphine so that she understands the ramilfications. I'll wait on the ADRs until she cancels the airfare. And everything will be canceled the day before if not sooner. When I did drugs at least I kept everything together! I have a hard time dealing with her on the morphine haze telling me that I didn't tell her "such and such" when she is so drugged up that she can't hear it or just doesn't remember! Thanks for letting me vent!

Two steps forward, one step back. At least Fran is starting to take an interest in things.

 

[dgbg100106]

my previous relationship (not talking about my DH). There was a.time when he had.several.surgeries right in a row and the drs just kept putting him on oxy and upping his dose as he got used to it. He was not "around" during that period and was so not himself.

I know everyone is different, but please take care of yourself during this.time.

Now if I could just be sure that she is healing.

She normally takes Percocett, but that doesn't really make her loopy at all, it sure would do that to me though. I've been taking extended naps every morning. Last night we awakened to find our bed in Apt 2 soaking wet and noticed water dripping from the ceiling fan. Turns out the vacant apartment upstairs had a leak in the hall bathroom which was dripping through the floor.

That was just after 2AM and the plumber arrived somewhere around 4AM. I'm just back from picking up the rents, the bank, Costco and the grocery store.
